Can I have it so all users automatically are affiliates so they don’t need to go through the affiliate signup process?
Yes, with the new Affiliates Users extension – this creates a new affiliate account automatically when a new user is added (by admin or by registering). This extension has just been released, it’s been requested quite often and it was about time to get that one out 🙂
I’m a little confused about this. Is “Affiliates Users” included in the Pro version, or always needed as a separate buy?
That is a separate plugin, it’s not included with Affiliates Pro.
Sorry, I should probably have added this to my previous question:
Does this work with Woocommerce and the WooDojo plugin?If you are referring to the Affiliates Pro plugin, yes, there is the integration pack for WooCommerce. If you refer to Affiliates Users, that also works with WooCommerce.
Looking forward to get it. Thanks. YG
Hi YG, thanks for asking – yes it’s due for release (overdue 😉 ), just need to get done with this week’s updates and releases before that and it should be available next week at the latest. You mentioned before you would like to beta test it, it’s not in beta stage but fully operational and tested but I would appreciate your feedback.
Hi,I’d like to create a payment method where the affiliate gets paid (a certain % of the amount sold) for every product that is sold from a list of products related (or assigned) to that affiliate.
The % to pay should be defined for every product/affiliate.
Anything I can do with the existing Pro+WPSC plugins? I think you mentioned something to be release soon 🙂
Thank you.
YGInstalled affiliate pro and setting up some affiliates manually. Is there any way to store affiliate’s snail mail address? Seems like we’re capturing all information needed to conduct transaction, but it would be added convenience to add their physical address and phone number, perhaps some misc. other information and be able to carry this along with their other information just as a convenience.
THanks Mike
I agree, how can we add snail mail fields for affiliates profile?
There are no custom fields on the affiliate entry itself but you could add that information to the user profile that is related to it if you are creating one. Have a look at the Profile Builder plugin mentioned on the Useful Plugins page please, this allows you to customize it.
How do I change the content of the email sent to new affiliates – the email they receive confirming their affiliate registration?
Thanks, but that really doesn’t answer my question. The email plug works on the wordpress welcome.
I need to know about changing the specific email that is sent to new affiliate registrants for the affiliate-pro.
I want to send information (in the email) about the affiliate program to new registrants when they register, like links to the affiliate resources.
I imagine you could edit the php, in the lib folder somewhere. Sorry I’m not much more help than that right now – too early!
Thanks for your suggestion @brideamelia, there is a more flexible way to achieve this using the
affiliates_added_affiliateaction hook which receives the new affiliate’s id.
Hi Kento,
Great plugin, we are very much looking forward to using it along with the Woocommerce integration.
However – having done a deactivate and test – this plugin is causing a clash with the Add New Post page. When we try to update status by clicking on the EDIT link on top right of Add New Post page, it just jumps the link to the top of the screen. Also, when we click on +Add Category link below that, nothing happens. When this plugin is deactivated, all returns to normal.
Please help!
Running WP 3.4.2, Custom Community and Buddypress.Hi, I’ve checked this and can’t reproduce what you’re commenting (WP 3.4.2, BP 1.6.1, Custom Community theme 1.9.1 and Affiliates Pro 2.2.3). You probably have something else interfering with your admin section, Affiliates Pro doesn’t touch these areas anyhow.
Thanks for having a look Kento – it appears another plugin, Kitchenbug, was part of the problem also but I didn’t discover it until I found something else playing up also after Affiliates was dectivated. I’ve notified the developers of that plugin and they are onto it.
Once Kitchenbug was removed, I could reactivate Affiliates.
Hey there
I have just purchased this Affiliate Pro but I need the affiliate link to land on a particular page of my site. Is there a way of changing this so that people land on a product page rather than the home page?
Thank you for responding so quickly 🙂
Could I be a pain and as you for the direct link to the actual instructions … I cannot just see it and need to have this set up urgently, like tonight!
Nothing like a tight deadline!
Sure, I would recommend to have a look at the Setup section first and for your question in particular see details about the [affiliates_affiliate_link] shortcode towards the end of the Shortcodes page.
Hi.
Basically I have a membership site made with optimizepress and wishlist member.
I’ve been looking around for a good affiliate plugin for a few days now! This is probably my last hope.
All I need is an affiliate plugin that will integrate on my site.Using this affiliate plugin I want my members to refer other members… and lets say.. they refer 5 members they get my member exclusive product for free. (or they have a choice to buy it for $17)
None of the plugins I’ve come across seem to have what I need… all of them just focus on sales/commisions and not simple free sign ups… ALL i want is to track referrals. THATS IT.
‘Affiliates’ seemed to be my best shot… but it doesn’t integrate properly on my site. Like name fields and sign up does nothing…
So would this plugin do the job of just helping me track unique referrals… via the wishlist member registration. (does it have a tracking code I can place on the redirect page after registration?)
Also, a minor thing… does it integrate with autoresponders.
Thanks!
There is no integration that you could use OOTB that will work with these plugins and do what you’re looking for. You would need an integration for both and it would have to be a customized to fit your requirements.
I have a couple of questions. I have an affiliate that generates a lot of leads through his contact form on the splash page I set up for him (contact form 7) however only some of the leads get attributed to him. Most of them get categorized under direct referrals. My assumption here, and correct me if I am wrong, is that these are leads that visited the website prior to filling out the contact form on his splash page and that because of the 180 day tracking they are being categorized as direct even though they filled out the form on his splash page. Is this the case?
Also, what happens when a prospect visits the site a second time through another affiliate link within the 180 days? Is the referral then categorized under the newer affiliate or does the prospect stay under the first affiliates referrals list?
Thanks,
Duane
Regarding the first question, no that won’t happen – if they visit the site first and then again through the affiliate’s link, the affiliate would get credit.
The last affiliate is credited, if you visit through affiliate A’s link and then through affiliate B’s link, B will get credit.
Causes why an affiliate is not credited would include:
– the affiliate link is not correct (wrong usage)
– visitor’s browser doesn’t accept cookies
– visitor cleared cookies after visiting the affiliate’s link
– expired (e.g. past 180 days after the visit in your case)
I’d suggest you test the links that the affiliate is using to make sure they work well, the other causes mentioned are pretty much beyond anyone’s control (except the last one which can be set to never expire if so desired). I hope that helps somehow, let me know if you need further help.
Cheers
Thanks. I’m looking forward to it. Let me know if I can help. Actually, I’d love an early view, to be able to better understand the functionality and see how it fits my needs.
Great, will appreciate your feedback when it’s available 🙂
Hi,
Any news about releasing the extension that allows to define product commission rates on any product sale to affiliates?
Thanks,
YG
Hi,
I’d like to create a payment method where the affiliate gets paid (a certain % of the amount sold) for every product that is sold from a list of products related (or assigned) to the affiliate.
The % to pay should be defined for every product.
Anything I can do with the existing Pro+WPSC plugins?
Other suggestions?
Do you need a business case example?
Thank you.
YGAn extension for this is going to be released – it will allow to define product commission rates on any product sale to affiliates.
When do you expect to release it?
Need to beta test? I might be able to test on my dev server.
ThanksThanks, it needs to have components developed for specific e-commerce systems but otherwise is ready. It has to be prepared for release though, in a couple of weeks probably.
Please see:
No Affiliates plugin product page:http://mendele.co.il/?wpsc-product=p8082
Same with affiliates plugins installed:
http://dev.mendele.co.il/?wpsc-product=p8082
The area of the tabs describing the produc has changed.
Does the plugin installation do anything outside it’s own folders? What exactly? How can it be controlled?
Thanks
Please add the following line at the end of
wp-content/plugins/affiliates-pro/affiliates-pro.php:update_option( AFFILIATES_PRO_ALWAYS_ENQUEUE_FOR_SHORTCODES, '' );This causes the scripts used by the plugin not to be loaded unless its shortcodes are used on a page. That’s how it should behave by default and this will be fixed with the next release.
Thanks for mentioning this, I hadn’t noticed that it does that.
This greatly improves the situation. However, I still would like to know what change did the plugin do in other places. This is because the appearance of my FAQ (by wordpress faq manager plugin)
changed after the installing (and uninstalling) Affiliates Pro+WPSC.
right: http://dev.mendele.co.il/?page_id=17178
wrong: http://mendele.co.il/?page_id=17178
Thanks,
YGIt doesn’t make any changes anywhere, what it did (before the fix) was to load a couple of jQuery scripts when it shouldn’t have.
In any case, what happens on that page shouldn’t be related. One thing I noticed:"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://dev.mendele.co.il/spritegen/jquery.shareaholic-publishers-sb.min.js?ver=6.0.0.3"Is it possible that the scripts are still running after the fix I added to affiliates-pro.php?
No, they’re not loaded now on the dev site.
I’ve installed the free affiliates plugin and created two affiliates. One using a manual entry from the WP Dashboard. The other by registering from the Affiliates Area page.
When, in the Dashboard, I go to Affiliates –> Manage Affiliates the new entries are listed in the table. But, there are no options to edit any of the affiliates. There are no edit/delete option enabled next to either of the affiliates.
Have I omitted enabling this feature somewhere?
There are two symbols, edit and delete, at the right side of each entry. Can you post a screenshot please?
Hello again. I’m having trouble inserting Hebrew text when rendering as code. It appears as giberish. What should I do? Do you need screenshots?
This is what I get:
×§× ×� ספר×�×� ×�×�× ×�×�×�
The html rendered code looks fine.
ThanksHi, yes a screenshot and code you’re using to render it would be helpful.
OK I emailed them. Thanks.
Hi YG, there’s an issue related to the character encoding when render=”code” is used. The fix will be included in the next release, for now you can apply this work-around:
<a href="[affiliates_affiliate_url type="append" url="http://www.example.com/?xyz=123"]">(link text goes here)</a>Use the above to render the code that they should use, including the Hebrew link text.
I saw that you are planning to put basic multi-tier options to affiliates pro. When can we expect that?
Still can’t say, there have been other priorities to be taken care of and currently I see the most probable is a generic Enterprise version.
after adding type=”append”, the buyer arrives to the correct product page but without the “?aff=xxxxxxxxxxxx” at the end of the address.
The referral is credited correctly though. Is that how it is supposed to work?
Thank you for your helpYes that’s correct. My pleasure to help 🙂
Hi,
I purchased affiliates pro and wp e-commerce integration.
The code does not function for me as you describe in your documentation.
The affiliate link does not bring to the right address.Example:
When placing in the page:– [affiliates_affiliate_link url="
http://my.site.home/?wpsc-product=ladino" content="Ladino
Book"]BookLink[/affiliates_affiliate_link]The link should bring the user to
– http://my.site.home/?wpsc-product=ladino
but it goes to
–
http://my.site.home/?wpsc-product=ladino?aff=a87ff679a2f3e71d9181a67b7542122cAnd this is an empty page.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
YaronOn your installation, go to Settings > Permalinks and choose any of the options under Common Settings except Default. Once you have done that, the URLs to your products (and any other post) will use pretty links (instead of the parameterized ones) and the shortcode will work as expected.
If you want to keep your permalink settings (not using pretty links), you must add type=”append” like in this example:
[affiliates_affiliate_link type="append" url="http://www.example.com/?wpsc-product=acme-tegdiw" ]
In any case, do consider using pretty ones, there are good reasons to do so. See Using Permalinks for more on that.
Hi, I am using Affiliates Pro plugin for my business directory (http://www.GTAville.com/sandbox) and I am using the theme (http://www.directorypress.com). I am looking, if you can guide me, how can I integrate my theme with Affiliates pro plugin.
My theme have the Coupon Codes option, and same coupon I will create for the affiliates (this way, each affiliate would have their own coupon code). Now, when this coupon code is being used by any customer, admin will manually approve the sale. At this point, If you can guide me, how can I integrate OR do you have any file, that I can leverage.
Waiting for your quick response.
Thanks in advance.Any plans to integrate Affiliates Pro with Events Manager Pro (http://wp-events-plugin.com/events-manager-pro/)? Being able to offer affiliates commission for events, plus s2 would be very useful…
Not yet, could be interesting though if someone were to sponsor it.
How does ‘sponsorship’ work in practice? I guess it could work alongside s2 and other integrations also?
Hey Kento-
I just set up the WooCommerce integration with Affiliates Pro. Every time I try to sign up as a new affiliate (to test out your system), I receive error messages like:
Invalid characters in username… are people not allowed to use capital letters in their usernames?
Email already registered… but I am just testing the system so I have no affilates on my site, nor do I have any WordPress user accounts with the email address I am testing.
Please advise, thanks.
This sounds very much like another plugin is poking its nose into where it shouldn’t. Of course you can use capital letters in usernames and if the email really isn’t registered that notice shouldn’t be thrown either. Try after disabling all but WooCommerce, Affiliates and integration plugin, if you have any plugin that might interfere in the login or registration process, leave that one off until the last one.
Trying to activate the Afflate Pro plugin (Affilate ECWD Interaction seemed to activate fine). Here is the error msg I get…
Server error
The website encountered an error while retrieving http://www.ba6botanicals.com/wordpress/wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1&s=. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

I have Affiliate Pro. I do not find a Banner Management to upload banners to. Are you going to add this. I have many sites and this is a priority in standards I am use to seeing.
Thanks Sal
Another question…
How and where can I get the updates? My Download link is expired.
Thanks again 😉Ok. But how can I get my username/pass to access the Download area?
ThanksWhen you place the order you have the option to create an account, looks like you didn’t but it’s not a problem, I’ve just added an account for you.
Thanks!!! :D:D
Hello. I got an question.
How can I add extra fields to affiliate’s profile like phone or address/zip code (WooCommerce)?
ThanksThe affiliate registration form is fixed and you can’t add any fields there unless you derive a customized version. The form is kept simple to make registration as easy as possible. Any additional information can be added to the user profile, see Useful plugins.
Hi,
I purchased Affiliates Pro, but seem to be having a major issue:
1.) The affiliate area page is no where to be found. After I clicked on create Affiliate area during setup, there was no link available for new or existing affiliates to sign up, only a form which asked for basic user info.
If anyone has any insight to this on how it can be resolved it will be greatly appreciated. I’m been at it for a while but, and can’t seem to find the solution.
Try http://yoursite.com/affiliate-area – this is the default place it lives, at least it was for me…
Hi Kento,
We are looking into buying the affiliates plugin pro but we have some questions we would like answered before.
Our site will be a private site. Our affiliates will link to our site. When new users register to our site [using S2 Member] we would like that specific new user to be linked to the affiliate. The users will be able to purchase products using woocommerce from the private area of the site. For every purchase we would need the affiliates to get commission if the user is a referred user.
So to summarize:
1) new referred user registers on our site (s2 member plugin) and is permanently linked to an affiliate
2) any purchases made by that user will generate commission to the affiliate
Can this be done please?I’m looking to to direct my affiliates to a certain page within my site. How would I accomplish this?
Thank youYou just add the affiliates parameter to the URL, e.g. http://www.example.com/some-page/?affiliates=123
Yes, I’d like to know how much it would cost to program what I’m looking for.
Thanks so much for your prompt response!!!
Thank you for the links. I have watched that video and I’ve read a lot of the documentation, but I also thought there was a way of entering a formula for the default referral rates that would apply to any affiliate registered for the program.
The percentage amount makes the lower-priced items hardly worth referring (a dollar or two here and there) and the larger ticketed items much more money out of my budget. I don’t want to do a flat rate because of the lower-priced items.
So I’m particularly interested in two solutions if they’re possible:
–A formula that will allow me to set a threshold of when the flat rate of $25 will be paid per transaction ($75 minimum)
–OR a way of applying the affiliate rates ONLY to the products that are priced at $75 or greater.Are either of these possible?
Thank you again so much for the speedy response AND such a wonderful product!!
Cheers!
Arial 😉Hi Arial,
Yes that can be done, the system uses custom methods that can be provided for example as an additional plugin as shown in this example. Such methods can then be used in general or for particular affiliates. For your case, it would be necessary to code the logic that will check the order amount (or individual product amount) and calculate the commission to be applied based on that. A programmer can do that if you are working with one or you’re also welcome to get in touch to get a quote on the work.
Cheers 🙂
I’ve just purchased and installed the Affiliates Pro for WP e-Commerce. I’m really excited about using it…but having problems finding out how to customize the referral rate.
What I would like to do is pay $25 to an affiliate for each referral that spends $75 or more on our site.
I’m not seeing any buttons or coding in my store products and I know just enough code to make me dangerous. I also haven’t seen any short codes I should be adding to my products. Is the integration just automatic for anything I have in my store?
Our referral program is going to help a lot of single-parent authors we know who are unemployed and trying to make their bills. I want to make sure we’re giving them an incentive that will help them and keep us from breaking the bank. I have some items in my shop that are less than $25, so I don’t want to pay out referrals that will put me in the hole.
Thank you so much for any help!
Arial Burnz
http://www.MysticalPress.comHi Arial,
You can use %-based commissions and don’t need to code anything 😉 You can set the default referral rate in the Affiliates > Settings section. Also make sure to review the Documentation for more detailed instructions. This section explains how to set individual rates.
Great project by the way, best of luck 🙂
Hi, I have version 2.0 with Jigoshop addon… How do I upgrade to the latest version?
Please download the latest release from the Downloads section. Make sure to update immediately, there are important changes as of Jigoshop 1.3.1 which the current release takes into account.
I’m using a fixed amount with taxes included.
Please update to the latest version, this is especially important with Jigoshop 1.3.1 which has just been released today, as there are changes in order fields and the integration plugin has been updated to make sure that referral calculations are correct. You can get the latest release in the Downloads section.
Hi, I have the Affiliate Pro plugin with the Jigoshop integration. It calculates the referral commission on the order amout + shipping but without tax. How can I make sure it doesn’t calculatie a commission on the shipping costs?
I saw some previous comments but there was not a solution in the answers…
Will have to look into that. What shipping method/setup are you using?
Hi 🙂
I wonder if you could tell me the difference between buying Affiliates Pro, and buying one of the integration packs? For instance, in order to set up my affiliates with automatic paypal payments, would I need to buy both Affiliates Pro, and Affiliates Pro for Paypal?Affiliates Pro by itself will not store any referrals unless an integration is used. That’s what the integration packs are for, they contain Affiliates Pro so you don’t have to buy both the pack and Affiliates Pro.
Me again, Kento! I hope I can get everything squared away soon, so I can stop bugging you. Just wondering if anyone else has brought up the issue of not getting the initial sign up email when a new user signs up to be an affiliate? I have been testing it, and what’s weird is that when I use a yahoo.com account, the initial signup email(with the password) does not come through. I checked the spam folder as well. But when I used another email account, at my own domain name, the email did come through. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
Have you checked the server logs for any rejects? If the server is blacklisted it won’t be able to deliver the notification to Yahoo, it will get it through to itself though because it’s delivered locally.
I have my permalinks set to: http://www.mywebsite.com/postname , so the plugin is showing me that my test affiliate url is: mywebsite.com/affiliate/3 , is the permalinks set right for this purpose or no?
Thanks a ton!
I’ve tested the link you sent earlier,
http://example.com/deals/3– this works, so assuming you have set the ‘Affiliates URL parameter name’ to deals, if you want to attach the affiliate ID to a specific post, you would use it like this:http://example.com/some-post-about-something?deals=3
Hi there, just purchased pro version for woocommerce.
I think I am being extremely daft but I need to ask.
I added a new affiliate, but there was no option to give them a password. So how are they meant to login to the affiliate area?
Im sure i have missed something obvious, but please humour me…
Affiliate accounts and user accounts are different. You relate an affiliate account with a user account by indicating the username in the provided field in the affiliate profile. The affiliate can the log in through the user account. You also have the option to let them sign up through the affiliate registration form. Make sure to have a look at the documentation as well.
Many thanks, sorry I didnt notice the documentation previously, which is amazingly helpful.
Something that I cant find the answer to it in the Affiliate Area, the link and embed link are not visible, see screen shot here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/60193847/aff-screen1.jpgThe text seems to be there when i click the space and copy but it cannot be seen. I presume this due to the black background, but how can I fix this?
Many thanks!
You will need to adjust the appearance with appropriate CSS rules for your theme. If you provide a link to the site I can give a hint 🙂
Website added to my name. If you want admin rights then just fire me an email. Appreciate your help!
Add this to your theme’s CSS rules:
.affiliates-registration label {
color: #ccc;
}
code {
font-size:12px;
}That will make it look ok 😉
Ok, thank you. well I do have permalinks setup accordingly.
Also, does it matter that the affiliate url is the “pretty” url or not? Because when I visit my affiliate page logged in as a test affiliate, it shows my link as being http://mysite.com?affiliate=3 instead of http://mysite.com/affiliate/3
Yes that matters, the pretty ones will only work if your permalink settings are set accordingly. Can you post the link you are using for the testing site?
Hi Kento, please forgive me if you’ve already answered this, but I was hoping to be able to track incoming traffic with my affiliate’s specific url. I just tried testing it out by signing up to my site with a test affiliate account. I tested the links on another computer, just in case, and it is only recording hits, but not showing that any traffic is coming from a specific affiliate’s url link. How can I make this work?
Thanks!
Regarding this “it is only recording hits, but not showing that any traffic is coming from a specific affiliate’s url link”, can you post a screenshot please?
I think you mean that there are no referrals recorded. It seems that you have not installed the integration plugin for WP e-Commerce – in the screenshot, the WP e-Commerce menu item in the Affiliates menu is missing. Check the downloaded file again please and the installation instructions, you need to have the Affiliates Pro plugin installed and the integration plugin for WP e-Commerce. That will take care of recording the referrals.
Ok, So there is no way to track referrals without a sale being made? In other words, I would like to reward affiliates for sending people to my site to sign up for my newsletter. So if an Affiliate sends a visitor to my site, and that visitor signs up for my newsletter, I would like to be able to track which affiliate sent that visitor my way. I’m hoping this is possible, or no?
It depends on the integration(s) used, you can have different referrals recorded based on sales, form submissions etc. Currently there is no generic integration with any newsletter plugin but it can be done as Affiliates Pro provides an API that allows to record referrals.
Ok, thank you. Is there info in the documentation on how to use the API? Basically, I would be using Mailchimp, and would just have to somehow track how the person got to my site to signup for the newsletter.
Hey Kento, just started running Affiliates Pro on my shop, great plugin, really excited about it. I seem to be having multiple registrations per affiliate right coming in tho, same username, email, and there’s 5 or 6 accounts with different IDs per account. Is this a known issue? Thanks
Hi Zoran, thanks for using it 🙂
What you describe should not happen, I’ll have a look at your page later on, let’s see if we can find out what’s causing that.
if it is possible to bypass this registration process and make all registered users as affiliate and give them referral-link??
Directly that’s not possible (unless done with customized code, for example a plugin), but the registration form covers both cases where a visitors joins as an affiliate and has no user account yet, or where a user joins the affiliate program.
can you suggest some plugin to do so ?? as i am having the same error with registration as before
This would be a good option to have
hello,
i have affiliate pro, i am having problem with that, when a new user wants to become an affiliate then he has to complete the profile first but when he click on profile link in the “affiliate-area” it shows “page not found”
Please help ASAPi saw that the clickable “profile” link in affiliate-area for new registrations is having the url “wp-admin/profile.php” which the users cant acccess, so is that the problem?? if yes then how to come over that??
Do you have a plugin installed that hides the back end for users? In any case you could customize the registration shortcode.
using squeeze page, when client clicks join now, it uses mail chimp to collect info and directs to a thank you page, i want the thank you page to be Affiliate registration, cant get it to work. when click join i get my sign up email, but it directs me to the wp sign in page, the redirect in mail chimp is set up for the registration page..
If the redirect doesn’t end up on the registration page then that’s not related to the Affiliates plugin. If you have set the Thank You page correctly in MailChimp, then it should end up there I suppose. Can’t help you with MailChimp though, I’m not using it myself.
OK, no help. so do i use the s2 registration page, or embed affiliates pro registration. i thin what Im Getting, is to use aff pro registration page only and it will recognize both aff pro ans s2.
You don’t seem to understand. Joining the affiliate program of a site is not related to any membership levels in s2Member. If a user has joined the site, then that user can choose the sign up with the affiliate program by submitting the registration form which will relate the user account to an affiliate account on the system. There is nothing else to it. You can even use the standard Affiliate Area that the system lets you create and let people join through that page as it embeds the form there already or lets them log in when they already have joined.
We have a WooCommerece site and are purchasing the WC Subscription extension as we sell annual subscriptions for our service through our website. We would love to use your affiliate Pro plugin, and was wondering if it works with the WC Subscription extension. Basically, if an affiliate refers a customer that buys a subscription, when that subscription auto-renews each year, can your Affiliates Pro Plugin pay a commision on that each time to the referring affiliate? Or will the Affiliates Pro Plugin only recognize the initial year’s purchase?
Thanks!
The integration would need to be updated to cover those recurring payments and trace them back to the initial referrer, currently it would not create a new referral for that affiliate. Of course it’s something that should be supported soon and is already on the todo list.
Thanks for the response Kento. Any estimate on the time-line of that? Thanks!
It should be ready soon as it’s an important extension and it is also needed to be in line with how Groups already integrates with WooCommerce and Subscriptions. Can’t promise it but hope to see this done within a couple of weeks.
This sounds great, and would be perfect to run with the new WooThemes theme for running courses.
Which theme is that? Would love to have a look and recommend it.
how do I integrate affiliates pro with s2member, I want to have 1 registration page, I don’t want a affiliate to register with s2 then have them register as an affiliate… s2 has a registration page, affiliates pro has registration, need 1 page to register, + how do i keep the page formatted to the rest of the site.AF pro registration page is plain. I want to integrate my header,ETC
The affiliate registration form will recognize when a user is a member of the site, it will allow a registered user to join just the affiliate program without having to create a new account.
Just a couple more questions, I think I’m almost there though 🙂
If a user signs up as a customer and then wants to sign up as an affiliate and they are logged in, is it possible to take their username/email from what is already there. the same the other way round, though just with the name as it does take the email.
If something is 0, then is it possible to have this show as 0? For example, referrals paid with in your example is blank, but this would probably confuse a user.
That’s how the registration form already works.
It doesn’t show anything because there is really nothing to show unless some referral data is available. Affiliates is capable of handling multiple currencies, if you have referrals in several currencies, then it would show the results for all of these. Probably the advanced shortcodes would be more useful if you want to show that nothing’s there yet, or to render information conditionally.
Is it possible to create a form with Gravity Forms which adds the info you request in the registration form?
It would be possible, but you would have to build customized code for that.
Does your code use taxonomies? If that’s the case, then i could just link the form fields to the correct taxonomy. If so, what are they?
Taxonomies related to the registration form? No. In any case, you can build a customized version of the registration form by reusing its code. Just don’t hack the plugin’s code, derive what you need from it.
Thanks, I think the hot weather has been messing with my poor brain.
😀 you’re not alone in that sense …
